Price (Acc)
These are the shares in the fund that don’t pay out an income to clients. Any dividends – the money a company can pay out to its investors – are reinvested into companies in the fund. Despite no income, the shares should be worth more over time. Good incentive, eh?

Annual management charge
This is how much the fund management company charges to run the fund. It’s like paying a babysitter, dog sitter or house sitter (that makes well-informed, heavily researched changes to improve your baby/dog/house when needed).

Yield
How much the fund is currently paying out in income to investors. It’s NOT to be confused with the overall growth of a fund – a very different thing indeed. It’s also NOT a guarantee of future pay-outs, just a snapshot. This is more what it’s not than what it is…
This fund targets long term capital growth from the equities of companies either based in China or conducting significant business there. The fund is run from London by Neptune CEO Robin Geffen and follows the in-house process he created. This combines a view of the macro-economy, global analysis of each industry and bottom-up stock selection.

Investment process
The investment objective of the Neptune China fund is to generate capital growth from investment predominantly in Chinese securities, or in the securities issued by companies transacting a significant proportion of their business in China. The investment process is split into three areas: - Neptune’s fund managers each have analytical responsibility for a specific sector and research that sector on a global basis – this research includes how the sectors behave across the cycle and their current attractiveness. - Neptune also undertake periodic reviews of countries and regions including their economies, markets and social and political state. - Stocks are principally selected through a combination of industry and geographical attractiveness, but ideas may also be derived from in-house screens, external research and company visits.

About the MRI
Our unique indicator: the Bestinvest Manager Record Index (MRI) measures the likelihood that the fund manager is adding value through their decisions. It is based on their performance record over the course of their career, adjusted for the amount of risk taken. MRI is an important contributor to our fund rating system but it is also vital to take account of qualitative factors. It is also very important to select funds to form a cohesive portfolio with an appropriate overall risk level.
